The Pre-Registration Of Voters Everywhere Act requires all states to allow 16-year-olds to pre-register to vote in federal elections, with their registration becoming active once they turn 18. States are given 90 days after the bill's enactment to implement this pre-registration process and have the option to allow even younger individuals to pre-register. Additionally, the bill directs the Election Assistance Commission to award grants of up to $25 million to states that develop and execute plans to increase civic engagement among people under 18, including promoting the pre-registration process and updating school curricula to emphasize civics education. States receiving grants have two years to use the funds and must report back on their progress within six months after the funding period ends.
